In response to wondering which came first: Self-isolation or rejection.
To me, this seems like an unavoidable death spiral for someone with very limited social and communication skills combined with severe mental problems like paranoia, schitzophrenia, and lack of self control.
Seems to me he was born with problems. He probably barely made it through high school when he fried his brain with the alcohol poisoning incident in 2006 and screwed everything up beyond all hope. I wonder if that's when his psychiatric problems started to kick in. Why would his parents have paid for college unless they weren't aware of how severe his problems were?
They were probably holding onto a thread of hope that he could learn to be self-sufficent and maybe his problems would diminish in the future, and now this. I wonder if there's anything left for his parents to even communicate with as they should be able to.
I feel sad for this guy, but he can't be trusted in society ever. They may be able to lock him up until he dies, but I don't see him getting the death penalty. He'll probably spend the rest of his life being tortured by his own paranoia. |
